Work Directly With Chris Steinmetz.
Multi-Platinum Producer · Engineer · Mixer
Three decades behind the console — and the same rule on every session: take the music seriously, treat the artist like a person, and make the record as good as it can be.
Chris works directly with a small, hand-picked roster of independent artists, bands, and producers — no assistants, no outsourcing. The mission hasn't changed in thirty years: take the music seriously, treat the artist with respect, and make a record that stands up next to anything coming out of a major studio.
For more than three decades, Chris has been quietly shaping the sound of American music from behind the console — the engineer other engineers call when a record absolutely has to be right.
He served as Chief Engineer at Chicago Trax Recording, became a Senior Producer/Engineer at Chicago Recording Company, and eventually opened his own private flagship facility — Stonecutter Studios, on South Clinton Street in Chicago.
His catalogue spans genre and generation: rock royalty (KISS, Alice in Chains, Disturbed, Smashing Pumpkins, Ministry), hip-hop and pop history (Kanye West, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Common), the blues lineage of Buddy Guy and B.B. King, the jazz catalog of Miles Davis, and many more.
